Macro of a male and female blue butterfly perched closely together on a leaf of a wild sensitive plant (Chamaecrista nictitans) covered in tiny water droplets. The male on its stage-left has wings spread wide, and he has a shimmering, iridescent blue-lavender upper wing surface bordered by a soft brown edge. The female on its stage-right rests with wings upright, and she has a pale, patterned gray underside alongside a glimpse of her dark brown upper wing with blue scaling restricted to the base. The background a soft, dark green out-of-focus bokeh, isolating the fine textures.

a very odd little find, nowhere near the UV lights (or any lights - this is an old disused lantern).

funereal duskywing (Erynnis funeralis)

lifer, I'm pretty sure

#teammoth #bugsky #lepidoptera #butterfly

butterfly perched with wings folded, underwing primarily visible. the underwing is a uniform chocolate brown, with a wide white fringebutterfly with wings outstretched. clubbed antennae, big fuzzy head, stout body. forewinfs have delicate scalloping and bands of tan color. a few scattered white dots are visible

pretty much a bust on moths last night. mostly micros, and I've somehow already lost the light for my macro lens.

one very nice emerald - Dichorda illustraria

#teammoth #bugsky #facesofelnino #lepidoptera

a green geometer moth, wings fully outstretched the moth has elegant white lines - two pairs on the forewings, and one pair on hindwings, making dramatic "V" shapes. the base of the wings has a slight white fringe.

Today I released another male monarch that I raised. After spending a couple of hours in the neighbor's tree, he flew down and landed on our tomato plant to bask in the sun. #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #Illinois #nature #photography #wildlifephotography #SaveTheMonarch

Here's another male monarch butterfly on a New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) this afternoon. #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #photography #wildlifephotography #SaveTheMonarch

Here's a late-season sighting of a red-spotted purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis) in the backyard. #butterflies #Lepidoptera #Illinois #nature #photography #photographylovers #wildlifephotography
